Hey all, I recently ordered from luxire and was looking for some feedback on my experience. I ordered a jacket and pants to be made in the emerald green fabric listed on the site. The jacket on the left is what arrived (placed next to Spier and Mackay emerald herringbone jacket).

Anyways, after receiving it, I checked the site to see if I was mis-remembering the color. I found, however, that the jacket color did not at all match what was listed on their site. I emailed CS and they informed me that they did in fact use the correct fabric. I then went back to the site to confirm this and they had changed the images relating to the fabric to more closely match what I received. The previous images which showed a darker and more richly colored fabric were removed.

My question is, do I have a legitimate complaint here? Surely I could have ordered a swatch before I ordered the suit, which I do understand. What really bugs me is the changing of the website photos after I emailed them. I just feel like I was misled to some degree (otherwise, why change the photos at all if you feel they are accurate). The suit is way too pale for me to wear with my pale skin tone and will not be using it unfortunately. Should I just chalk this up to an expensive lesson or does the complaint have some legitimacy? Thanks!

Of note: the jacket construction and pant construction are great. I am not at all complaining about that. They did very good work. Just to be fully honest and upfront.

Also, ignore the propercloth hanger. I just put the jacket on that hanger as I like it more. That was from a completely different order, however.

I've run into the same issue. Blue trousers on the site, purple in real life (these turned out great anyway). Cream trousers on the site, yellow in real life (in my case, these were like yours unwearable). In any other case I'd say you have a legitimate complaint, but with Luxire I've - perhaps falsely so - just decided to live with it and order swatches if I really want to be sure of the color I'm getting. When buying from Luxire, there are quirks and inconsistencies you unfortunately have to live with which I've never encountered before. Personally, I have find that the positives outweigh the negatives by a lot.

With that said, I've only had positive experiences with customer service and you should write to them and ask. I feel I have been fairly compensated in the past, and in one case I was the one who had erred. However, I have not complained about the color being wrong (yet). I've read that others here have had less pleasant experiences so your milage may vary.

The older and newer images are of the same fabric.
Do not read too much into the change of the images. Based on customer feedback, our IT team does review quality of images and where they see that better imaging can be done, they do the change.

For your case, we are still be going by the older images.

Thanks for the reply. That is the same reply I got via email. Again, I am not trying to be a super complainer or difficult, so I really do appreciate your time.

Can you explain what "For your case, we are still going by the old images" means?

Thanks for the reply. I agree, the actual work they do in constructing garments seems great.

Do let us know how you fare, or at least send me a private message.

I am also unsure about what this means. If the delivered fabric looks very different from the old images then I can understand your disappointment. I guess another example of why ordering swatches before placing an order might be important, though Luxire does not always have swatches of all of their available cloths (those that have to be ordered). One compromise is to ask whether Luxire is willing to remake at cost.

Best to continue communicating with the customer service team. They will find you a solution.

If you did not order and review a swatch in-hand, then there is no grievance. Unfortunate, yes, but not a gripe. That is part of the adventure with MTM, with any company. Even in full bespoke, when you see the material and swatch it can present much different once it’s produced to scale. You need to handle the swatch and review in different lighting situations, unless you have or handled other garments in the same fabric that you can reference by mill and fabric number.

I have several duds, from a few different companies. It’s an expensive education, but you will learn how to evaluate and make informed decisions.

Actually, I recently ordered a white dress shirt staple, and asked to replicate a previous order specs. Upon arrival I noticed the collar was unlined unfused and looks pretty bad with a tie (the intended use), but that is what I asked for by asking for replication. I overlooked that detail and was focused on fit of other order. That is on me.

Fair point. I will be doing swatches for now on. Thanks for the feedback. I will ask that we no longer discuss this in the thread per the request of the vendor. I appreciate all feedback and the vendor for time and effort. I will update with the final end result of my conversations with them via email. Thank you all again.

Is it possible to make a collar that sits up higher on both the neck and the chest than a standard collar? Here is what I am thinking. In this photo, could the collar be constructed so that the size and shape is the same, but the top of the collar wraps around the neck at the point of the break between the neck and the head on the mannequin?

Can be done. We can create and send you similar images by placing on a dummy. Once you approve, we can proceed.

Exactly the kind of response we’ve all grown to expect, no matter how wacky the request

@luxire I'd love to see a "top 5" most customized/whackiest requests. Would be good for laughs but also could demonstrate just how customizable options are and how skillful your workers are at delivering.
